Summary
"So should we start blocking off time in our calendar for dance lessons with Coach Diaz?"
Eddie knows Karen means it as a joke, but the combination of the wine in his system and the joy in his gut make it feel serious, "Yes."
"Wait, really?" Hen asks.
"If she wants to dance, I'll teach her to dance. We had fun today," Eddie finishes his glass and notices he's probably at the point where he's drunk enough to talk about the Buck thing.
"You don't have to do that Eddie. I'm sure we could pay for lessons somewhere," Karen offers.
"Or we could pay you," Hen offers.
"I have an idea for that actually," alright, Eddie, be brave, "I give Mara dance lessons and you both give me gay lessons."
or
When Mara becomes obsessed with ballroom dance Eddie becomes her teacher. Along the way he realizes he's in love with Buck, starts receiving "gay lessons" from Hen and Karen, and forms a ragtag dance academy. What could possibly go wrong?

Summary
“Eddie, I am definitely not going to date anyone else now,” Buck said, straightening up and frowning.
Eddie could feel himself flush, hating once again that his cheeks always showed his feelings. “I mean, you can,” he stuttered. “This doesn’t change anything—”
“Why do you always say that?” Buck snapped, pulling back. Another tear crested his waterline on the other side and he sniffled and swiped at it furiously with one hand. “That—that nothing will change. I tell you something life-changing and you assure me nothing will change,” Buck said, looking devastated. “I want things to change, Eddie. I want you to want things to change. I want you to want things, period.”

OR: one year, two funerals, one LAFD gala, and approximately a dozen times Eddie had to sigh and say “Yes, it’s Buck’s.”

Summary
To his left, a cluster of young men, barely old enough to be in here, were living their lives through their phone screens. They preened and posed, muscles straining against designer t-shirts, capturing manufactured moments of joy for an audience that wasn't here. Buck felt a surge of contempt so sharp and sudden it almost made him flinch. He’d been that young once, though his own brand of youthful idiocy had also involved running into burning buildings, not just perfecting a pout for Instagram.
To his right, a group of older men, their faces a roadmap of past disappointments, watched the younger crowd with a hungry, almost predatory nostalgia. They were looking for a night, an hour, a few minutes to feel like the men they used to be. Buck looked away. He was thirty-four, caught in the no-man’s-land between the two, and felt an uncomfortable kinship with both groups that made his skin crawl.
This was a mistake. He should have stayed home.

Summary
“How did you get home from the hospital?”
“Took an uber.”
“Does Maddie know?” Silence. “Does anyone?” More silence. More of Buck refusing to meet his gaze, staring at the door like he thought he could entice Eddie to leave by the power of suggestion. Well, good fucking luck, Eddie thought. Wild horses, and all that. “Why didn’t you call anyone?” he demanded. “Why didn’t you call me?”
“I did!” Buck snarled. The momentum of his indignation carried him into a sitting position, and Eddie could see him flinch with the pain of it. His unnaturally stoic front was gone, and something raw and wrenching took its place; it occurred to Eddie that he’d never heard Buck raise his voice before. “I did call you, Eddie! As I was bleeding out on my kitchen floor. You. Didn’t. Answer.”

The squatter in Buck's attic has a knife. Buck has a bit of a breakdown. Eddie has a plan to make everything right.

Summary
If you would’ve asked Buck at 13 what he thought he’d be when he grew up, he never would’ve guessed this.
He would’ve said something like a vet, or a professional skateboarder, or an astronaut. Hell, maybe the next Evil Knievel or some other adrenaline junky hobby that he got paid for being the stupidest at.
Never in his life would he have guessed that by age 24, he’d be a murderer - let alone that he’d get paid to do it eventually.
-
After sweeping Christopher back to Texas, the Diaz parents realize that it's only a matter of time before their son steps up and takes him back, and they'll lose their grandson for good.
So, they get in contact with Evan Buckley - murderer for hire - to get rid of Eddie, permanently.
Nobody is expecting what happens next.

Summary
“Fuck it,” Eddie mumbled before unlocking the phone again and opening his text thread with Buck. They hadn’t texted since Buck asked him if he wanted a scone or a danish from their favorite coffee shop before their last shift. Eddie sighed and pressed the corner of the phone against his forehead.
He didn’t want to ask for help. He could spend another hour circling around the city. But he didn’t want to. He wanted this awful horrible day to be done. He wanted to hold his child and pretend for a little bit that everything was still whole. He sighed again before pressing call and pressing the phone to his ear.

Eddie finally asks for what he needs in the aftermath of the sudden loss of his Abuela. Buck finally stops running from his grief. And then Eddie’s parents show up.

Summary
Captain Buckley’s face creases, his expression disfavourable. “I’m, uh, not really into the whole Sir thing,” he tells Eddie, scratching along the slope of his grey-stubbled chin. “Still getting used to being called Cap, if I’m being honest. Most people here just call me Buck.”
“Buck?” Eddie repeats the name with the intonation of a question.
“There were three other Evans in my class at the Academy,” Captain Buckley explains, shrugging casually with the huge mountain range of his wide, wide shoulders. “Even after all these years, it’s managed to stick.”
OR: Eddie's probationary firefighter year at the 118, under the watchful eye and expert tutelage of Fire Captain Evan Buckley.

“Are you homophobic?”
“What?”
“Will you be my boyfriend?”
“Yes,” Eddie answered, automatically, even though his mind had volunteered several other pressing questions, like what are you talking about and what is happening and did I recently sustain brain damage.
“Thanks,” said Buckley, and then he pushed Eddie back against the side of the firetruck and kissed him.

Summary
“Okay, okay,” Buck concedes with a laugh. He doesn’t totally believe Eddie, because there’s no way his job holds any weight against a fucking rocket scientist. But then he looks down at Christopher who is rubbing at Eddie’s scalp as fast as he can, creating a soapy lather. Eddie is grinning as he reaches back to use the suds to style his hair into an exaggerated mohawk, twisting in his chair to pull faces at his son, and Buck admits to himself that maybe his job is pretty fucking important.

The one where Eddie outsources his hair washing post shooting, meets Buck, and learns to accept the good things in life.

Summary
He stepped out almost instantly, closing the door as quietly as possible in an attempt to not scare anything away. Concrete hit his knees as he carefully pressed his body against the sidewalk, using the daylight as an advantage to see under his truck.
As expected, a small, shaking ball of fur sat in front of his back wheel, its paws dug under its belly in hopes to find some warmth. Eddie’s heart shattered into a million pieces for the second time today. The shards already broken collapsed into even smaller pieces.
Eddie made a calling noise with his tongue, rapid tuts in an attempt to capture the cat's attention. Luckily, a response came quickly with its head whipping round in a hurried action, piercing green eyes meeting his own.
If Eddie had to pin an emotion to the eyes, he’d say scared, but he couldn’t ignore the sense of loneliness hidden behind the fear; something he’d become far too familiar with recently.
•••
Eddie moves to Texas, adopts a cat and "accidentally" names it after his best friend—who he misses in a totally platonic way, whilst trying to rebuild his relationship with his son.

Summary
Eloise Marie Thompson was born on a sunny day in Hershey, Pennsylvania to eighteen-year-old Rebecca Thompson. She grew up with a single-parent, though that term was used loosely. Her mother was more interested in partying than raising her. It had only been the last three years that Rebecca decided to step it up, so naturally she had to die in a car accident on her way to work. It had taken the social worker a few days to get a copy of Eloise's birth certificate, and that was how she learned that she did, in fact, have a father.
Evan Charles Buckley.

Summary
“And,” Hen tacks on, rolling her eyes from where she’s leaning against Chimney, “Buck’s never confirmed it, but y’know, that name is not because he’s a firefighter,” Hen wiggles her eyebrows at him and slowly holds her hands up, placing them a good seven or eight inches apart, insinuating something with the position.
It takes Eddie an embarrassingly long moment to realize Hen is holding up what they believe Buck’s dick size is; however, the only thing Eddie can think about is how wrong they are.
He knows what Buck is packing in his pants—a false alarm of anthrax exposure hitting Buck and Eddie had revealed certain things to the brunet after being hosed off in an opaque tent completely naked next to his best friend—and it isn’t a dick. No, it’s something that absolutely haunts his dreams—so often, it was why he and Ana had broken up. He couldn’t stop thinking of the soft, pale pink pussy that’s fat and powdered with a thatch of neat blond curls his friend hides.
